You may disagree but there is no counter factual in your personal experience.
Wherever you ended up to, how do you know it would have been better going to a community college?
The data is obviously highly biaised but when you look at top researchers, what % went to CC vs what % to top undergraduate programs?
PS: I say this because I personally know people who went to top institutions lamenting that they should have went another way for some of the reasons you mentioned, and yet they all have landed nice positions wherever they wanted to go.

You need a control - two similar people with similar backgrounds. People going to CC are usually not doing so by choice. I think that ultimately, some people are going to be successful regardless of the path they take. Universities attempt to capture the recognition for where their attendees end up, but I think that has more to do with the attendees than the universities.
